The Macao-Zhuhai Entrepreneur Summit 2020 took place in Zhuhai International Convention and Exhibition Center on 10 December. The Summit was jointly organised by the Secretariat for Economy and Finance of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government and the Zhuhai Municipal Government, and was coordinated by IPIM and the Zhuhai Municipal Bureau of Commerce. More than 1,600 people took part in the Summit, including representatives of relevant authorities of the Central Government, officials of the People’s Government of Guangdong Province and of the Macao SAR Government, as well as industry leaders, entrepreneurs, senior leaders of chambers of commerce and association, professionals respectively from Zhuhai and Macao.

Under the theme “Developing Hengqin through Zhuhai-Macao Cooperation”, the Summit was held in an interactive way combining a main forum, four parallel sessions, and economic and trade visits. Entrepreneurs and industry representatives from Guangdong and Macao were invited to speak at the main forum on topics such as Zhuhai-Macao co-operation and the construction of Guangdong-Macao “intensive co-operation zone” in Hengqin. The parallel sessions covered topics including co-operation forum, science and technology innovation, cross-border e-commerce, and cultural and tourism collaboration, into which representatives from various sectors of the two places shared their insights.
